Welcome to the Official Website of the National Basketball Players Association. The NBPA is a unique labor institution. For over 40 years, the NBPA has fought to promote the best interests of NBA players both on and off the court. Whether we are negotiating a collective bargaining agreement, prosecuting a grievance on a player’s behalf, or counseling a player on educational opportunities, our mission remains the same: To ensure that the rights of NBA players are protected, and that players maximize their opportunities and achieve their goals on and off the court.
